The company said the PrPMC800 is the first processor using its MPC7410 microprocessor with AltiVec technology, a mezzanine card designed to be the heart of high-end computed and entry digital signal processing applications in the medical equipment, semiconductor production, test equipment and telecommunications markets. The processor includes Motorola’s PowerPlus 3 architecture; PowerPC 7410 or PowerPC 750 microprocessors; 2 Megabyte/1 MB of level 2 cache; up to 256 MB on-board ECC SDRAM, with up to 1 Gigabyte with memory mezzanine; 32/64 bit PCI interface; single-wide PMC with a 33/66 MHz PCI interface; 10/100 BaseTX Ethernet interface; and 32 MB on-board Flash. Motorola said the PrPMC800 with MPC7410 at 450 MHz is expected to begin sampling in October. Motorola also introduced an in-vehicle Travel Charger for conventional and trunked radios. The charger is designed for use with several of the company’s portable two-way radios and allows the radio battery to rapid charge while the radio is turned on and in use. The unit, which plugs into the lighter outlet, allows messages to be received immediately once the charger is connected and transmit from a previously dead battery in as little as five minutes. Three Travel Chargers are available for use with Motorola and Radius two-way radios including the P1225, P1225LS, GP300, GTX, LTS2000, P110, HT750, HT1250, HT1000, MTX8000 and MTX-LS. The charger kits include a voltage-regulated lighter adapter, customer charger base, coil cord and mounting bracket. (800) 422-4210.
BulletIN.net
BulletIN.net, which develops and supplies two-way wireless Internet messaging products, introduced BulletIN Personal, a personal computer-based software solution that enables users and small office/home office workers to receive time-sensitive Internet e-mail messages on wireless devices. The software is a compact disc-based product that is installed on an end user’s PC and works with dial-up Internet service provider connections as well as direct, digital subscriber line or cable modem Internet connections. The service allows users to forward home or office e-mail messages directly to any short message service capable wireless device. BulletIN.net said the software will be available in markets in which the company has wireless carrier partnerships, and will be sold directly through carrier and ISP sales channels as well as on BulletIN.net’s Web site.

Western Multiplex
Broadband fixed-wireless communications system provider Western Multiplex Corp. introduced its DS-3 LYNX Protection Switch, the company’s latest addition to its line of T1 and E1 automatic redundant switches for its LYNX license-exempt systems. The company said the switches were designed for telecommunications carriers, utility companies and other enterprises that provide wireless high-capacity networks. The switch enables LYNX users to establish monitored-hot-standby protection within one to two seconds, ensuring uninterrupted transmission of voice, data or video. Western Multiplex noted that since the protection switch simultaneously switches over all radio functions, including transmitter/receiver RF data, orderwire, diagnostics and auxiliary data to a standby radio when the online radio fails, LYNX users can now rely on the company’s technology for total control over their networks. (800) 404-9840.
AirNet Communications
AirNet Communications Corp. introduced its AdaptaCell super capacity base station, which is built on its current broadband, software-defined AdaptaCell base station platform. The base station will feature adaptive array technology designed to increase the operator’s spectral efficiency, resulting in increases in network performance, by focusing radio signals on individual handset antennas instead of spreading them over the entire cell. AirNet said the solution provides high-speed data over the entire existing cell area, instead of only part of the cell, requiring fewer base stations to cover the same area. The company said the base station also improves the quality and quantity of the throughput of the network, maximizing the use of the operator’s radio spectrum. In addition, the adaptive array technology is designed to reduce interference, improve voice quality and conserve signal power by focusing and receiving energy only in desired locations, according to AirNet. Because the base stations are software-defined, operators can expand or upgrade their systems to include new capabilities. (321) 984-1990.
Mitec Telecom
Mitec Telecom unveiled its 25-watt rack module multicarrier power amplifier, designed to support cdma2000 applications in the 1900 MHz frequency band. Mitec said the amplifier incorporates a digitally controlled predistorted amplifier with adaptive feed forward using patented digital signal processor-based frequency domain cancellation techniques. The module is also adaptable to a variety of third-generation air interface standards. (732) 542-1133.
Preferred Voice
Preferred Voice Inc. announced the availability of its universal speech-activated interface for voice mail. The system provides a navigator to interactive voice response technology, allowing hands-free operation of voice mail messages. The IVR technology also allows telecommunications companies to make other services, including calling cards and prepaid cellular phones, easier to use. (214) 265-9580.

RangeStar Wireless
RangeStar Wireless Inc. unveiled a 2.4 GHz embedded antenna that the company said will provide a more durable alternative for wireless in-building Internet surfing and Bluetooth applications. The antenna, designed for 802.11 unlicensed applications and easily adaptable to Bluetooth applications, supports modem operations in laptop computers, handheld organizers, access points and in-building wireless Internet systems. RangeStar noted that the antenna is less breakable due to its “D-Shaped” design, which also allows original equipment manufacturers to incorporate two antennas onto their products to create spatial diversity in 802.11 applications. The antenna also embodies both horizontal and vertical polarization characteristics, enabling it to establish a communication link in a variety of orientations and providing OEMs with more flexibility in device design as well as reducing signal degradation from multipath effects. The company said the antenna offers a peak gain of +4 dBi and a VSWR of 2.5 to 1. RangeStar also announced it’s offering a tri-band antenna to support GSM phones operating in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz frequency bands. The antenna is designed with separate GSM and DCS/PCS feed points. With 20 dB of isolation between the feed points, the company noted the antenna did not need a hardware-based duplexer, reducing costs and freeing space on a phone’s printed circuit board to support additional applications or reduce the size of the phone. The tri-band antenna offers a peak gain of +0 dBi in the GSM band and +1 in the DCS/PCS band. (888) 647-7100.
